Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
Prepare a 9-inch square baking dish by coating it with non-stick spray, and lightly spray a piece of foil on the side that will touch the dish.
3
In a medium bowl, combine the pasta sauce with 1/2 cup of water. Stir well until mixed.
4
Spread 1 cup of the sauce mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
5
Arrange 20 ravioli on top of the sauce, placing them flat side up and just touching one another.
6
Cover the ravioli with 3/4 cup of the sauce mixture, then sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the shredded Italian cheese blend.
7
Repeat the layering process one more time, using up the remaining ravioli, sauce, and cheese, ensuring you have three layers in total.
8
For the final layer, place the remaining ravioli on top, followed by the last of the sauce and cheese.
9
Cover the dish tightly with the prepared foil, sprayed side down to prevent sticking.
10
To avoid spills, place the baking dish on a sheet of foil in the oven.
11
Bake for 1 hour or until the edges are bubbling and the dish is heated through.
12
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is just golden.
13
Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving.
14
If you'd like to freeze, transfer the lasagna to a rigid container and freeze for later.
15
When ready to enjoy leftovers, microwave on medium power until heated through, adding more sauce if necessary for moisture.
